According to Romano, Liverpool decided to keep Gakpo because they couldn't find a suitable replacement. This decision means Gakpo will remain at Anfield, despite Manchester City's offer of around 99 million euros. City has reportedly shifted their attention to Iliman Ndiaye and Enzo Fernández. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Gakpo has agreed to stay at Liverpool. The Dutch international has been a key player for the Reds since joining in January 2023, helping the team win the league title last season. He will now face stiff competition from new signing Bradley Barcola, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain for 140 million euros.
